EGG-BEATER.

SPECIFIHATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 232,125, datedSeptember 14, 1880. Application filed June 21, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom "it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK HENRY, ofNewport, in the county of Campbelland State of Kentucky, have invented a new and useful Improvement inEgg-Beaters, which improvement is fully set forth in the followingspecification and accompanyingdrawings, in which-- Figure lis a sideview oftheimproved heater. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same, and Figs.3, 4, and 5 are detail views.

The object of myinvention is to improve the structure of eggbeaters; andit consists, principally, of the manner in which the frame isconstructed, so that the heaters can he removed from the frame. It alsoprovides a new and improved method of manufacturing the wires upon whichthe heaters revolve at the point where the small pinions are attached,and in making the heaterwires in two parts, so that the various partsforming the device may be readily taken apart and cleaned.

The improvement also consists in placing one set of revolving heatersabove the other to enable the operator to do more effectual work, aswill hereinafter be more fully set forth.

In the drawings, A represents the frame of the heater, which is composedof two bars parallel with each other, and having a space between. Thisframe is provided at the upper end with a head, A, flattened on top andprovided with a socket, A, in the upper surface, into which is fitted atang, B, which projects from the lower surface of a handle, B. The lowerend of the frame is provided with an enlarged portion hollowed withinand formed in two parts or halved, the rear portion, D, being acontinuation of the frame A, and the front portion, D, of equal sizewith the rear part, D, is slotted at the upper end, and its ears hinged,by means of screws E, to the parallel bars of the frame A. A screw, E,passing through lips projecting from thelower ends of the housings D D,keeps the halved portions securely together.

F F represent wires for holding the revolving heaters. These areprovided at the upper ends with hooks F F, or bent at right angles, sothat when they are secured in notches cut in the housing D D, near thepivots E, the ends of the wires project out from the housing.

A long pinion, H, having a thimble or tubing, G, secured to its lowerend, is loosely secured on the wire F within the housing D D; but thelower end of the tubing projects from the housing below, and at thepoint where the tubing passes out of the housing a journal orhearing-point is formed. The upper end of the long pinion is intended tomesh with the larger gear-wheel, L. A short pinion, H, in like mannerprovided with a tubing below, is placed on the wire F, so that the twopinions H. H mesh with each other.

The wires F F extend down below these pinions a suitable distance, andare there proided with two curves, I I, one below the other. The lowerends are bent toward each other, and the wire F is provided with atubing, J, threaded, which is adapted to receive the threaded end of theopposite wire, F.

F F represent the heater-blades, having their ends secured side by sideto the lower end of the tubing G, and bent centrally, as in heaters ofthis description, there being double centers formed, and, in addition,one series of heaters is placed below the other. Thus KK represent theupper heaters, and L L the lower heaters. The flat sides of the heatersK L are soldered oi thcrwisc united at the point infin te $121M, and theheaters K L at the point indicated by M.

N represents the handle attached to the main drivingwheel L. It will henoticed that the driving-wheel L is provided with cogs only on one side.These mesh with the long pinion H, which in turn meshes with the shortpinion H. The wires F F can readily be detached from the housing byremoving the top part, D.

Having described myinvention, what Iclaim as new, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, 1s-

1. In an egg-heater, the frame A, having a detachable top or handle, B,and at the lower end a housing composed of the hack extension-piece, D,and the front cap, D, of equal size with the hack piece, the two partsforming a bulb hollow within for the reception of the pinions foroperating the heaters, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

2. The wires F F, curved at right angles at their upper ends, andprovided with the tubing G, placed loosely thereon, to which tubing aresecured rigidly the pinions H H, the said Wires F being provided at thelower end with a tube, J, threaded within and adapted to receive thethreaded end of the other Wire, F, whereby the said Wires may be securedto each other, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

3. The combination of the frame A, having at the upper end thedetachable top and at the lower end the housing D D, and the wheel L,with the Wires F F, having the tubing Gr, upon which are secured thepinions H H, and

joined together at their lower ends by means of the threaded tubing J,substantially as and for the purpose herein set forth.

In testimony that; I claim the above I have 15 hereunto set my hand this17th day of June, A. D. 1880, in presence of witnesses.
